Us and Our Bike
« on: January 31, 2015, 12:08:06 PM »
Hi all,
         As I am one of the kicking and screaming mob, It has taken me a bit to introduce us.  We have had the ST1300 (2006) since Feb 2014, and have clocked up about 24000ks,we recently did a tour around a good part of the North Island November2014. We were married nov 2013, I,m 73 and working full time at Palmerston North Airport ( NZ ).My wife (somewhat Younger) works at a Rest home.While my wife is relativly new to bikingshe has become a real fan of the ST.    my biking started in the 60swith Triumphs,Thunderbirds,T21, a short stint in the Transport Dept,riding a Saint,Various small bikes, Farm bikes, and before the ST, a XL700 Transalp,a very underrated bike. (67000ks when I traded it )I joined OZSTOC back in October and went on the NZ inaugeral run to Ruapehu RTE with Rob, a most enjoyable outing.

Greet to see some of our East Island cuzins on the forum.  All the more incentive to hop over the ditch for a cuppa and chat.

Only 73.  A mere pup!    :grin

Welcome to our increasingly International STOC.

Welcome Veebiker72. Got a brother who lives in Waiuku, NZ.
I was over visiting him and his wife last February and was wishing I had an ST1300 to play with.
He is contemplating a Spyder for himself.
